This presentation covers the life of American author Ernest Hemingway, who

Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois,

a suburb of Chicago. His father was a wealthy physician

and passed on to his son his love for hunting and fishing.

Ernest Hemingway worked as a reporter for the Kansas City Star,

army service for poor vision, Hemingway volunteered as an American ambulance

World War I.  He transferred to the Italian front

where he became the first wounded American to survive after being hit with

He was decorated for valor which he believed he did not deserve.

After his recovery, he returned home taking a job with the Toronto Star

working as a foreign correspondent covering the Greco-Turkish

which after World War I became a city full of intellectual life,

In Paris Hemingway wrote along with Gertrude Stein,

Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and James Joyce, and he helped contribute to a

revolution in literary style and language

He published his first book, Three Stories and Ten Poems,

while in Paris in 1923. Three years later he published his novel The Sun Also

Hemingway's work has been read as a negative commentary

on the modern world, filled with sterility,

failure, and death; however, his nihilistic vision is modified by his

assertions of the possibility living with style and courage.

His primary concern was an individual's "moment of truth"

(which he derived from bull fighting), and he was fascinated by the threat of physical,

or psychic death, a fascination reflected in his lifelong preoccupation

with stories of war and death shown in his novels A Farewell to Arms,

For Whom the Bell Tolls, Death in the Afternoon,

and Green Hills of Africa. Hemingway felt a person's greatest achievement

is to show "grace under pressure," or what he describes in The Sun Also Rises

as "maintaining the purity of line through the maximum

of exposure." Hemingway rejected the romantic ideal

of the union of lovers and suggested instead

that all relationships must end in destruction and death.

In 1937 Hemingway became a foreign correspondent covering the Spanish Civil

and three years later published his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls

based on his experience. This novel is set in Spain during the Civil War

and uses his popular theme love found and lost

and also describes the unshakable spirit the common person.

He wrote another novel with a similar theme in 1952,

The Old Man and the Sea, about an old fisherman name Santiago,

who is triumphant even in the face of defeat.

Two years later, in 1954, Hemingway won the prestigious Nobel Prize for

for his contributions to modern narration.

Hemingway's fame brought him critical scrutiny

throughout the world. Numerous parallels between his life and his characters

exist but none as pronounced as that of Richard Cantwell

in this novel Across the River and into the Trees,

of physical and mental illness foreshadow the struggles and defeat

of Hemingway's final years, which sadly ended

when he, just as his father had thirty years earlier,
